Maserati Khamsin

The Maserati Khamsin was the successor to the Maserati Ghibli.

It sported a front-mounted 4.9 litre V8 delivering 320 hp, housed in bodywork that resembled a lower, flatter Ghibli, designed by Bertone.

The Khamsin had several unusual features, such as DIRAVI power steering, where assisance decreased with speed, and another glass window below the rear window, making reverse visibility unusually good.
